In medicine, a prosthesis is an artificial extension that replaces a missing body part. Prostheses are typically used to replace parts lost by injury (traumatic) or missing from birth (congenital) or to supplement defective body parts.
Within science fiction, and, more recently, within the scientific community, there has been consideration given to using advanced prostheses to replace healthy body parts with artificial mechanisms and systems to improve function. Although no such "enhancement prosthetics" have yet been created and demonstrated to work for healthy individuals, the morality and desirability of such technologies is debated. Body parts such as legs, arms, hands, feet, and most other body parts can be replaced.
